Introduction : extent, processes and evolutionary impact of interspecific hybridization in animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Since the time of Charles Darwin, studies of interspecific hybridization have been a major focus for evolutionary biologists. Although this phenomenon has often been viewed as problematic in the fields of ecology, taxonomy and systematics, it has become ...

Using molecular tools to guide management of invasive alien species: assessing the genetic impact of a recently introduced island bird population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Aim: Biological invasions are a major threat to island biodiversity and are responsible for a large proportion of species declines and extinctions worldwide.

Additive and non-additive epigenetic signatures of natural hybridization between fish species with different mating systems

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2022
Hybridization is a major source of evolutionary innovation. In plants, epigenetic mechanisms can help to stabilize hybrid genomes and contribute to reproductive isolation, but the relationship between genetic and epigenetic changes in animal hybrids is ...

Genetic evaluation of F2 and F3 interspecific hybrids of mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) using retrotransposon‐based insertion polymorphism and sequence‐related amplified polymorphism markers

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2023
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is a self‐pollinating and indispensable pulse crop in Indonesia. While low yield productivity is a major concern, genetic improvement is possible through interspecific hybridization.

Comparative BAC-based mapping in the white-throated sparrow, a novel behavioral genomics model, using interspecies overgo hybridization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND The genomics era has produced an arsenal of resources from sequenced organisms allowing researchers to target species that do not have comparable mapping and sequence information.

Tracing the footprints of a moving hybrid zone under a demographic history of speciation with gene flow

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2020
A lack of optimal gene combinations, as well as low levels of genetic diversity, is often associated with the formation of species range margins. Conservation efforts rely on predictive modelling using abiotic variables and assessments of genetic ...

An Immuno-Genetic Hybrid Algorithm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computers Communications & Control, 2009
The construction of artificial systems by drawing inspiration from natural systems is not a new idea. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are good examples of successful applications of the biological metaphor to the solution of computational problems.

Hybrid genetic algorithms for feature selection [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2004
This paper proposes a novel hybrid genetic algorithm for feature selection. Local search operations are devised and embedded in hybrid GAs to fine-tune the search. The operations are parameterized in terms of their fine-tuning power, and their effectiveness and timing requirements are analyzed and compared.

Distribution, phylogeography and hybridization between two parapatric sibling ant species of the genus Temnothorax [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The present-day range distribution of many species has been influenced by re-occuring glacials of the past. By the retreat into different refugia situated in more southerly regions, species were geographically separated and sometimes diverged into ...

Increased genetic divergence between two closely related fir species in areas of range overlap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This research was supported by National Key Project for Basic Research (2014CB954100) and a Royal Society-NSF China International Joint Project award 2010/R4 to R. J. A. and J. Q.
